It's a pretty big disaster that wealthy nations have hungry, homeless, sick people that are considered acceptable for the sake of profit and they make benches like this so people can't even have a nap.

I would also recommend bringing along a classic adjustable wrench and/or a pair of pliers
Those look like they are welded
So what I'm hearing is someone needs to go around with a battery powered angle grinder and just buzz those right off, as a public service.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Some of it would remain and protrude and have to be sanded down to avoid injuries, then possibly painted or otherwise treated to prevent rust. The only viable solution to this problem is ensuring that the right kind of benches are installed in the first place.
Well, I mean, you could grind it down smooth with said angle grinder + bring a rattlecan of rustoleum for after. Though I suppose that does increase your chances of getting caught in the act, I doubt it'd add that much time.
A truly inspiring bench design, it got it all: A huge space to place ads, for life would be in vain without advertisements. Reinforced mountings to make sure no one carries them away. And of course the armrests that surely only exist, so good, law-abiding citizens can relax more comfortably and totally aren’t a some incompetent politician’s idea of what problem solving looks like.
anti homeless bench with an ad on it, one of the most American things I have ever seen
